Optical Generation of Gigahertz-Frequency Shear Acoustic Waves in Liquid Glycerol

Picosecond laser ultrasonic techniques for acoustic wave generation and detection have been employed to probe shear acoustic waves in liquid glycerol at gigahertz frequencies. The experimental approach uses a unique laser pulse shaping technique and a crystallographically canted metal layer to gener...
